Make Money Online with MintVine

MintVine Review: Make Money Online

I recently discovered a new(ish) way to make money with online surveys using Mintvine (recently bought by Branded Surveys).

You could earn $10 today with Mintvine just for signing up, completing your profile, and taking a few surveys!

Surveys are one of the easiest ways to make some extra cash from home. You won’t become a millionaire taking surveys with Mintvine (or any other survey company), but you can definitely make enough for a Starbucks run… or save your earnings to help out with birthday presents or your Christmas budget at the end of the year!

Pro Tip: Create a separate email account you use for survey sites. You will be bombarded with survey emails so this is the best way to keep yourself organized! Make sure you sign up for several different survey sites so that you are always having the opportunity to take a survey.

MintVine Sign Up

Earn money taking online surveys with MintVine. You earn points for surveys (and other opportunities); 100 points is equivalent to $1. You can cash out to a Paypal or Dowolla account when you reach $10. Payments can take 3 – 5 days to process.

Ways to Make Money with MintVine

Survey Street & Points Place

This is where you can take surveys through MintVine. Survey Street is unique in that MintVine will funnel surveys that fit your profile. So be sure to be honest in your profile when you sign up! MintVine really tries not to waste your time and I appreciate that. You are able to take as many surveys as you want through Survey Street and you will be paid for each successful completion of a survey.

If you are not qualified for a survey MintVine will still give you points for your time! Sometimes it will be 5 points up to 35 points. So either way at least your earning something!

Note: Survey points take 14 days to process before being added to your account. This is the one negative aspect of MintVine. However, your Daily Polls points are posted to your account immediately.

Daily Polls

You can earn 5 points for answering a daily poll located on your MintVine dashboard. It takes about 5 seconds to get those 5 points! If you take the poll consecutively for 10 days you get a 25 point bonus!

Pro Tip: Keep your a window open in your browser (on your phone or computer) so that you can check in everyday to take the quick poll! Even if you don’t have time to take a complete survey you can still earn points!

Offers

Like many other *get-paid-to* sites, MintVine has an offers section. This is where you can sign up for an offer and earn points. Some of these require you to pay $1 or sign up for a subscription and earn between 60 – 1200 points.

Read each offer carefully and it will let you know that if you cancel your order then you won’t get the points.

Important Note: If you sign up for a subscription make sure to cancel the subscription before the next pay period. If you sign up for a free trial make sure to cancel before the first payment. These could cost you money if you don’t cancel before the next payment! You can set a reminder in your phone to cancel to help you remember.

Here are some examples of earning points with offers:

Fabletics: As a NEW VIP member get 2 pairs of leggings for $24.99 and earn 1200 points ($12) This would be a great deal if you wanted Fabletics leggings and have been waiting for a good time to buy. You would just want to make sure and cancel your subscription after you receive your leggings.

I Can Read!: Join the I Can Read! Program and pay $1 in shipping and handling. Earn 300 points ($3). Cancel your subscription after you receive your books. When you factor in the $1 you spent on shipping you come out with $2!

This can be a risky way to earn points, but it’s definitely possible and can help you earn points quickly if you do several deals.

Local Deals

There are a few deals on the Local Deals page where you can save money from shopping online. These deals are similar to deals you find on sites like Groupon.

Focus Group Opportunities

You can qualify for “Recruit Surveys” with MintVine. This is a great way to earn between $100 – $150 for participating in a focus group. Some focus groups are based on location. The best way to qualify for these is by being active taking surveys.

Referrals

MintVine has a great referral program for their surveys! Click on MVP to find your referral code. You can share via social media and email (or blog 🙂 ) For every new community member you earn 15% of what they make and you earn 50 points when they complete their first survey!

Pro Tip: Always take advantage of the referral opportunity. Every money making app or survey site has a referral program. Learn how you can use referrals to earn even more: Earn Extra with Cash Back Apps

Should I join MintVine?

I think you should sign up with MintVine because . . .

The Daily Polls are seriously easy to take! Just taking daily polls you can earn $18 in 6 months or $36 for the year. For me, that’s a Lego set for my kids at Christmas.

You can earn points even when you don’t qualify for the full survey.

Only need $10 to cash out and it goes to a Paypal account.

There are opportunities to join Focus Groups to earn even more money!

What I don’t love . . .

It takes 14 days for points to be approved from Surveys. This can be frustrating especially if you are close to cashing out.

Overall I think MintVine is worth my time when it comes to taking surveys as a side hustle!

What is your favorite survey site that pays with Paypal?
